Mother’s Day
It was another Mother’s Day at the ballpark.
While the boys did not bring home a championship win, I did get to see my kid finally break his hitting slump. John almost tied the game in his final at bat, falling short of his first grand slam by about two feet. I am just going to blame the driving rain for keeping that ball from going over the fence. The boys still got a great medal for second place, and it is even pink to honor all the baseball moms.
My other kid decided to stay home for the day because she has been fighting allergies and probably a bit of a cold for the last few days. I got to see Laura after we got home, and we enjoyed a nice dinner. Happy Mother’s Day to all the great moms out there! I hope you got spoiled today.
Season End
Well, it was not the end of the season that we wanted for the Hickman C Baseball team as the boys lost in the Columbia Freshman Tournament Championship to Rock Bridge, 5-3. It was a successful season overall as the Kewpies went 18-10-2. John learned a lot this season as he adjusted to different coaching, faster pitching, and new baseball strategies. He showed steady improvement and really enjoyed the season.
It was a lot of fun watching #19 in his first high school baseball season! Way to go, Kid. Your dad and I are proud of you!
Orchestra Concert
We went to the Hickman Orchestra Concert tonight to see Jacob in the Freshman Orchestra. Jacob has been John’s friend since kindergarten, and he always shows up to support John in his activities. John wanted to return the favor tonight.
